Testimonials

Gina Higgins (American Noir)

"As a traditionalist, Nick ranks amongst a handful of truly gifted rock photographers…Bob Gruen, Steve Gullick, Mick Rock, Henry Diltz, Jenny Lens and Anton Corbijn come to mind - all original in their own ways, but each with a keen awareness that in addition to natural born talent, in order to stand above average, to be noticed, to be great, to be an ‘artist’ as opposed to a ‘craftsman,’ there is one essential quality that will always separate the ordinary from the extraordinary....Passion." - Gina Higgins, American Noir

Mark Radcliffe (BBC Presenter)

Richard Hawley (Ex-Pulp, Singer Songwriter)

Sandy Newman (The Marmalade)

"To work with Nick has been an absolute pleasure and he brings a total visual concept and imagery sympathetic to his subject matter with an ease and understanding second to none. He has an eye for detail I have never experienced before and is articulate and professional every step of the way, turning a vision into a reality. His live work is simply stunning and I am proud to have been on the other side of his camera. If there's a secret…it belongs to Nick!" - Sandy Newman

Kerry Harvey-Piper (Red Grape Records & Management)

"It was great to work with Nick – the photo session was totally relaxed but 100% professional and resulted in shots that couldn't have been better. Thanks Nick – I'll get the pepsi max on ice next time!" - Kerry Harvey-Piper

Gary Curtis (Recording Artist)

"I wanted some special guests in my Christmas music video in aid of Cancer research UK, and they dont come more special than my close friend and top rock photographer Nick Elliott. Always a joy to work with and great to have around the set, Nicks personality shines. Thanks Nick - a great compliment to me that you are in my videos." - Gary Curtis

Cara Dillon (Singer Songwriter)

"Nick's talent is in capturing a unique moment in every artist's performance that takes you to the very place their music belongs. I was surprised he managed to capture a rare moment when my eyes were open while I was singing. Very few have done the same so well." - Cara Dillon

Bella Hardy (Singer Songwriter)

"Nick's photographs capture a festival performance feeling which is so hard to put into words; it's something primal, a feeling fuelled by adrenaline and fear and the way the crowd spurs you on. It's an honour to be included in his collection." - Bella Hardy

Sharon Shannon (Singer Songwriter)

"Nick's book of photographs captures some of these memories and brings them to life once more. I am honoured to be included in such a brilliant line-up. Thanks Nick." - Sharon Shannon

Cambridge City Council (Neil Jones, Marketing Manager)

"Nick can't half take a decent pic...we soon invited him back to the Corn Exchange to snap Def Leppard. To use some of his own cockney talk - he's a diamond geezer...who takes a mean photo!" - Neil Jones

Alex Lewczuk (Siren 107.3 FM)

"Sound and Nick's Vision is more than a radio show. More than a podcast. More than a journey into the musical inspiration of one of the nation's premier photographers. Quite simply it’s an audio driven, life-changing, musically fulfilling, pot-pourri of perfection!" - Alex Anthony-Lewczuk, Founder Siren 107.3FM

Dylan Taylor (Endeavour FM)

"We've thoroughly enjoyed having Nick Elliott as a guest on Endeavour. There aren't many people with stories of having been there, done that, worn the t-shirt - or in this case taken the photo! We always strive to create the best output we possibly can and work with people to that end goal. Often it gels together at both ends and becomes something far greater than you could've imagined. This was one of those occasions. We can't wait to work with Nick and his team again in the future." - Dylan Taylor, Director/Station Manager, Endeavour Radio FM

Chris Moore (Endeavour Radio)

"Talking to nick is an immersion into pure liquid gold audio. his tales and anecdotes illuminate the rock genre with a fresh and vivid perspective, warts n all" - Chris Moore, Rock Show Presenter
